== Rise to power ==

=== As governor of Kamraj ===
Jamshid's sheer expertise and martial adeptness with regards to his strong nature were well cherished even by the Maharaja himself. By gaining the trust of Maharaja Udayanadeva, Jamshid was appointed as the governor of Kamraj, the office which solidified his armoured wall even further.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Dutt |first=J. C. |url=http://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.180776 |title=Kings Of Kashmira |date=1879 |pages=24}}</ref>

Jamshid carried his laws in the region and worked efficiently for the people of Kamraj. Warmly welcomed, he established himself in [[Sopore]] from where the orders were executed. Jamshid carried out his role as a governor till Shah Mir started an [[Shah Mir–Lohara War|armed rebellion]] against the [[Kota Rani|Maharani Kota]].<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=F4_MoAEACAAJ |title=Baharistan-i-shahi: A Chronicle of Mediaeval Kashmir |date=2013 |publisher=Gulshan Books |isbn=978-81-8339-166-5 |pages=f 17a |language=en}}</ref>

=== As heir apparent of Kashmir ===
Jamshid supported his father in his campaign against the Maharani. He played a crucial role in subduing the Lohara army.
